Based on the code provided
My thrust coefficient is half of what is supossed to be. Can anyone point out what my mistakes are on my equation. The code starts from %%verification of conservation of momentum. I know based on my TSR my thrust coefficient is supposed to be somewhere around .7
Also my professor helped me calculate the power coefficient but i do not understand what this lines of code are doing?
What is tke1 and tke2 doing?
i know i have to do the same thing for the i,j and i,k but how would i do it?
could you do it for i,j component and comment how what is that it is doing it so that i can understand and do it fo i,k.
tke1=(u(istart,j,k)^2.0+v(istart,j,k)^2.0+w(istart,j,k)^2.0)/2;
tke2=(u(iend,j,k)^2.0+v(iend,j,k)^2.0+w(iend,j,k)^2.0)/2;
power_1=power_1+((-u(istart,j,k)))*((tke1)+pr(istart,j,k))*da;
power_2=power_2+(u(iend,j,k))*((tke2)+pr(iend,j,k))*da;
